Sorry for the dumb question but amethist look like pretty good with new improved security
Simplex is better?


bravo!  Not in cell phones alone doth man live!


SimpleX e Amethist são apps com funções diferentes, o SimpleX é um mensageiro anônimo, já o Amethist é um cliente Nostr.


Here in Bangladesh neither play store nor F-droid offers 5.3.1 September 25, 2023 update.

What's wrong with me?


Does notifications works properly ?

I have try to use it several month ago but it never works properly. 😕


SimpleXChat is a super secure messaging sort of alternative to signal etc. Visit their page: simplex.chat


*messaging app


Yes for me. Use instant notification as setting. Brings you call notifications for SimpleX. Sweet WebRTC ICE feature. Nice plaintext states while connecting calls.


Between SimpleX Chat and BlueSky, which do you prefer and why?


Mit Optainium ist sogar schon Version 5.3.1 draußen😻
Ist auch leichter zum updaten😉

How can I import my profile (keys) from the phone into the desktop app?


Simplex is not what you want and need. Getsession.org is what you want.


Didn't work well at all, last time I used it. Messages would never arrive, etc. Just a terrible experience.


Did you refresh the repositories?

Yep, there was a broken M1 binary a the one uploaded now is fixed (in 5.3.1)


Working on it - this week seems likely!


F-droid is always a bit behind, you can check our fdroid repo: https://simplex.chat/fdroid


Via export in database settings, but you can’t use one profile in both devices yet


I understand. Google hasn't yet rolled to my Play Store. Waiting. Thanks.


I don’t think that marketing Session in competitor’s threads is a viable replacement for lost deniability and forward secrecy, and for the fact that whoever has passphrase can read user’s messages without them knowing. So no, I don’t think anybody needs to use session, even Signal seems a better trade off.


how about retroshare with tor/i2p ?


how about briar / berty ?


also, https://bkil.gitlab.io/secuchart/


Maybe is necessary to explain better why simplex is different then others.


Better than signal?
